How does he scream like that?! Dave Simonich talks vocals! Signs of the Swarm "Dreamkiller"

Dave Simonich is a master of inhuman, gurgly, disgusting metal vocals. And I love it. We've been trying to get him on the channel for YEARS, but with his tour schedule, writing, and just being a vocal monster, the stars didn't align until Signs of The Swarm dropped Dreamkiller! This song is a bit more close to the chest and focuses on lyrical concepts, but do not fear, its still heavy as FUGG. Stick around until the end of the video to see me kinda fail as his low technique

Thanks for having me! 🖤 Was an absolute blast! 🎉

[@martingraf1338]

It was awesome. I learned a lot about you as a person and as a vocalist. If you ever come to Germany, I'll do my best to make it to one of your shows. Much love, Dave 👊🏻😁

Dude I love your vocals and sound, You've been my favourite for long time now 🤘❤️

[@michaelmurphy4070]

Duuuuude you are such an inspiration for me I am trying to get into harsh vocals and you and Dan Watson are probably my favorites and I feel what you mean about your music I don’t feel angry or sad I feel hope and inspiration for myself and life in general thank you for all you guys do 🤟

Thanks for having our guy! You rule!

[@septima1789]

I love this band! You guys are in my top 10.

[@LAHowell]

David is the GOAT in my opinion. He has the most unique vocals in the genre, his lyrics are never bland or cliche, he ALWAYS goes hard live, and Signs has never made a bad song while he’s fronted the band. He’s the best, no question.

[@DevilMTEX3]

Laugh tracks pfp goes so hard

[@aWildNelby]

Always love extra wetness in deathcore vocals. Dry, cavernous lows are pretty cool, but the dripping wet high snarls are always welcome. BRING THE SALIVA!

[@brunotortorello8530]

Click click boom...sorry, i just had to hahahahahahahah

[@bluetoothpasteman5022]

If you haven heard them already, you might like To The Grave. Dane has some of the gurgliest lows I've ever heard, and some of the most unique highs too, he somehow makes a buzzsaw-like sound, it's insane

[@Veganerd_]

@@bluetoothpasteman5022 I heard To The Grave a little bit a while back, but just found my way back around to them. Fucking love it that they are vegan and fighting for animal liberation! \m/

[@RedBeardMortis]

Dave is such an amazing guy. The first Deathcore show I ever went to was when he toured with Worm Shepherd for the Absolvere tour. I went up to Dave and told him that it was my first show ever and the dude went out of his way to make it the best show I would ever be to. I'm talking signed merch, mic grab moments, etc. Such a class act. Fuckin love the guy

big fan of signs especially with this vocalist! huge influence on my music

i should clarify, huge influence on my upcoming ep. not as much on what i have out now.

[@martingraf1338]

"That's how I practice: I just scream at my kid." Goodness, Mark 🤣🤣🤣

[@RL3_Tendy]

Would love to see David added to the Project Vengeance songs. His sound is so unique and deserves to be added to some of the best Deathcore vocalists we have.

[@zionmartell42]

Hell Yeah, I Agree

[@claytonparsons4963]

Dave seems like such a nice and genuine dude.

[@saltaeyy]

One of my absolute favourite vocalists, easily top 3, incredibly wholesome guy and also one of my idols when it comes to vocal style. So damn happy that he's on the channel finally ❤❤

[@kellerasselx5122]

I always love how inspirational just conversations between Mark and other vocalists are. Really just motivates me to keep going and improve my own vocals :D. Please never stop making these kinda reactions ^^

[@quintupleton]

This channel alone is gonna create a whole new wave of metal artists forcing a higher standard for vocals. This channel is so fucking awesome for metal

[@TStizzle19]

Hahaha dave is SO humbled and happy seeming after you showed him the drum head you have. What a stud

[@Fizzwad]

This is definitely something ive been waiting for ages! Love how Dave has developed his own sound over the years

[@trn228]

Saw him in Oberhausen a week ago and oh my god he’s a beast!! Great stage presence and killer live vocals,, amongst the low and empty & tower of torsos are unbelievably insane live and his voice just gets down into your bones. So happy to have found Signs and got to see them live with Shadow of intent

[@bstroker]

I seen Dave when he was in Improvidence when they opened for Thy Art is Murder, his vocals blew me away

[@Ze_Davila]

it's so good to be a vocal nerd watching two dudes nerding even harder about vocals as well

[@SimonTB-uy3qv]

The reaction to the drawn drumhead was so genuine. Love it.

[@bandenwesen]

Excellent talk, thanks for having him/being there! Dave is an inspiration, I could listen to him all day. Amongst the Low & Empty may even dethrone Vital Deprivation as my favourite SotS album.

[@Senzuballs]

This dude kills it! Can’t wait to see them at the end of the month 🤘🏼

[@skullprophet9902]

dude I love looking up lyrics to songs, its always great, and you learn that youre not alone in the shit storm

[@rhodesICT]

Man he kills it in Signs of the Swarm, but I feel like his previous band Improvidence never got much love, I still play Bastard Born all the time. He's amazing on it!

[@superstarmikeymike6700]

Dave is so knowledgeable and it helps so much.

[@Sam-uu2nx]

Awwww man 😢 gotta wait til after work for this. Ive had SOTS on repeat since Amongst the Low and Empty came out

[@thecrab3544]

Saw Signs this past Friday for their Pittsburgh show! Not my first time seeing them but just wanted to say it was a killer show and noticed Dave wandering around the crowd and head banging to other bands was so wholesome! Love these guys!!

[@DWoyster12]

Great conversation!! Dave is awesome as is the whole band. Their podcast interview(s) on Garza is also great! Love the last part where he explains his unique low. Definitely gonna try that one lml lml

[@kridsuibom3412]

My wive Irina an me met David at the Indra Club gig in Hamburg. It was absolutely awesome. It is a very small club and SoS made the crowd completely goin nuts. He is so kind of a person and took all the time after the gig for every fan. As we told him that we know you he told that you are good friends and he sends you best and kind regards and hopes to make another video like this ;) Hopefully we see YOU back soon in our flat via skype ;)

[@twitchgiggles]

I was just at their hometown release show a couple days ago. It was magical. Those guys were so nice, all about the crowd.

[@szprucel]

ive seen them on brutal assault few days back and david live is just amazing fr hes super consistent and sounds like a monster

[@wttruax5816]

really cool interview. love Signs

[@BeebZ_SqueeZ]

I practice my vocals with my kids in the car by singing the Disney songs they love in harsh vocals lol my son and daughter are obsessed with Will Ramos and I’ve got my son starting to listen to SotS and he just JAMS. His vocals are pretty solid for a 4 yr old (and even my 3yr old girl lol) but I’m trying to make sure he’s doing his “monster singing” safely. It’s hard to teach littles lol

[@kevinblum4454]

Sighns of the swarm is my fav band and dreamkiller is my fav song by the band. This song has a meaning for me. It has Shed some tears a lilltle at times and most of the time I jam it.

Can’t wait to watch this tomorrow at work. My daughter doesn’t allow me to be on my phone for an hour lol

[@BirdOfHermes83]

I preordered the CD bit Amazon canceled it. So I gotta wait until the vinyl is available again. The cd is fucking amazing btw! Love the video too Mork! 👍

[@ZDPQC]

Its funny he mentions the Low and Empty was very laxed in recording because I feel its easier to hit his marks being lax versus being pushy and tense.

[@billywilliams315]

Simonich, Alex Terrible and Ramos are the GOATS rn

[@paintedworlds3975]

I was able to do the black metal style screeching frys ive been trying to do after watching this..., it clicked after this vid for some reason!

[@jesuslovesu4714]

That toilet bowl sound, which is very very unique to David alone, to me, sounds like a T- Rex sound!

[@ThcBanaman]

Dave is my vocal idol. Favorite singer for a long time now. I wish I could scream like that, I had talent like 10 years ago , sounded decent but always gor coarse after like 2 songs. It wasn't good for my voice even though I'm pretty sure my technique was correct

[@ToSlay_Eli]

Sounds like you may have just been pushing a little too hard, once I figured that out I could go waayyy longer

I'm a sucker when they clean sing deathcore

[@PutriOddity]

Just saw these dudes. What a beast he is live

[@aWildNelby]

KardEVIx would be an awesome collab! David Benitez seems like a very versatile vocalist (That’s a lot of v’s). “Renesans FT. Mark of Kardashev” or “Kardashev FT. David of Renesans” sounds good too. Maybe a split?! Just spitballin’ here (and more comments hopefully helps algorithmic gains too 😝). Also patiently waiting for a Mark-fronted vocal olympic deathcore project 🙂

Love seeing musicians that are into tattooing! I got tattooed by the guitarist of Inspirit/Vanna (Nick Lambert) without even knowing he was a guitarist until the day before the session 😅. Nick does awesome traditional work and is a super nice guy. The lead singer of New Found Glory tattoos (black/grey work) as well as the old vocalist of For The Fallen Dreams (that blew me off when we agreed on an appointment during Warped Tour when they rolled through 😡). If anybody else is aware of great tattoo artists that are involved in music plz reply to this with a heads up so I can check them out; Maybe I’ll find a cool new band to love and/or a great artist to grab a tattoo from.

Saw them with Archspire and Whitechapel, in Nashville and i was expecting Archspire to kill it, which they did. They didn't hold a candle to Signs though, IMO. All because they were so damn in to it. Could tell how much fun they were having
